TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to mobile communication technologies, andin particular, to a method and radio network controller for transmittinginformation.

BACKGROUND

A mobile communication system includes a User Equipment (UE), a basestation, and a radio network control device. For ease of description, itis assumed that the base station is a NodeB of Universal MobileTelecommunications System, and that the radio network control device isa Radio Network Controller (RNC) hereunder. The channel between the UEand the NodeB and the channel between the NodeB and the RNC are RandomAccess Channels (RACHs).

To enhance the data transmission rate between the UE and the NodeB, asolution is put forward in the industry: using High Speed DownlinkPacket Access (HSDPA) in the downlink common channel, thus making thetheoretical downlink transmission rate as high as 100 Kbps. However, thedownlink transmission rate is affected by the uplink transmission rate.For example, uplink transmission is currently performed on a sharedRACH, which leads to slow uplink response and affects the downlinktransmission rate.

To solve the problem, another solution is put forward in the industry:using High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) to implement randomaccess. This solution requires the UE to use an Enhanced DedicatedChannel (E-DCH) transmission channel to transmit the specific messagesin the uplink transmission at random access. That is, an E-DCH should beused between the UE and the NodeB. This solution increases the speed ofexchanging information between the UE and the NodeB massively.

During implementing of the present invention, the inventor finds atleast the following problems in the prior art.

To increase the speed of transmitting the data sent by the UE in theuplink direction between the RNC and the NodeB, an E-DCH transmissionchannel may also be used between the RNC and the NodeB. Because the UEdata quantity is small and intermittent, if a dedicated E-DCH channel isused between the RNC and the NodeB, resources are wasted drastically.

The channel between the RNC and the NodeB is port-based. This channel isdifferent from the air interface based channel between the UE and theNodeB, and the method for allocating an E-DCH transmission channelbetween the UE and the NodeB at random access is not applicable toallocation of the channel between the RNC and the NodeB.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

To make the technical solution, objectives and merits of the presentinvention clearer, the following describes the embodiments of thepresent invention in detail with reference to some accompanyingdrawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the process of configuring a shared E-DCHtransmission channel between an RNC and a NodeB according to anembodiment of the present invention includes the following content.

Step 101: The RNC sends a message for setting up/reconfiguring a sharedE-DCH transmission channel to the NodeB, requesting the NodeB to set upan E-DCH transmission channel.

It is assumed herein that the setup/reconfiguration message sent by theRNC to the NodeB is a setup/reconfiguration request.

The RNC needs to send a request to the NodeB, notifying the parametersrequired for channel setup/reconfiguration. For example, the parametersmay include: the signature list and/or the relevant physical layerchannel parameters used when the UE performs random access through theE-DCH, and/or the relevant physical layer channel parameters; and theparameters may further include one or more of these parameters: thephysical layer parameters required when the UE performs random accessthrough the E-DCH, transmission channel parameters required when the UEperforms random access through the E-DCH, or transmission bearerparameters required when the UE performs random access through theE-DCH, or may further include one or all of the above two types ofparameters. The parameters may be sent through a new message; or theparameters are added into a message of the existing process, which meansthe parameters are sent through the existing process.

If the RNC sends the signature list used when the UE performs randomaccess through the E-DCH to the NodeB, the RNC may send the signaturelist in many modes. This embodiment provides several modes: (1) A tableis stipulated in the protocol, and a serial number of the table isassigned and sent; or (2) a signature sequence is configured and sent;or (3) the signature list is sent in the mode like Preamble Signaturesin the traditional Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH). These sendingmodes may be performed in the process of setting up the commontransmission channel.

If the RNC sends the physical layer channel parameters required when theUE performs random access through the E-DCH to the NodeB, the RNC maysend the parameters in many modes. This embodiment provides the specificprocessing modes for the RNC to notify the NodeB to assign the relevantresources through configuration of the channel such as the ArrestIndication Channel (AICH), High Speed-DSCH-related Shared ControlChannel (HS-SCCH), and High Speed Physical Downlink Shared Channel(HS-PDSCH). The detailed modes are as follows.

(1) An Arrest Indication (AI) is added into an AICH sent to the NodeB,indicating that the AICH may be used at the time of performing randomaccess through the E-DCH. In this case, the AICH may be modified in thecommon transmission setup process.

(2) The second mode is specific to the HS-SCCH. In this mode, theHS-SCCH sent to the NodeB may carry at least one of these items:physical-layer parameters, HS-SCCH format number, and HS-SCCH timesequence relation. In this case, the HS-SCCH may be modified in theprocess of reconfiguring the physical shared channel. The physical-layerparameters may be channelized codes and power. The power may be themaximum transmit power and/or initial transmit power; for the HS-SCCHformat number, the current HS-SCCH comes in three formats, and thespecific format needs to be indicated; the HS-SCCH time sequencerelation may be a contrast between the HS-SCCH and an absolute timesequence, for example, an offset from the AICH or Primary Common ControlPhysical Channel (P-CCPCH), measured in timeslots or 256 chips.

(3) The third mode is specific to the HS-PDSCH. In this mode, theHS-PDSCH sent to the NodeB may be added at least one of these items:physical-layer parameters, HS-PDSCH time sequence relation, andtransmission channel parameters. In this mode, the HS-PDSCH may bemodified in the process of setting up the common transmission channel.Besides, the physical-layer parameters may include at least one of theseitems: channelized code, modulation mode, power, and TB size; theHS-PDSCH time sequence relation may be a contrast between an HS-PDSCHand an absolute time sequence, for example, an offset from an AICH orP-CCPCH, measured in timeslots or 256 chips; the transmission channelparameters include an indication of the MAC format, specificallyincluding MAC-hs, MAC-ehs in DPA enhancement, or a newly defined format.

If the RNC sends the relevant E-DCH physical-layer parameters requiredwhen the UE performs random access through the E-DCH, transmissionchannel parameters required when the UE performs random access throughthe E-DCH, and the transmission bearer parameters required when the UEperforms random access through the E-DCH, etc., to the NodeB, the RNCmay send the parameters in many modes as the same.

The E-DCH physical-layer parameters may include the parameters in thefollowing Table 1, and such parameters may be added in the process ofsetting up the common transmission channel.

The transmission channel parameters may include the parameters in thefollowing Table 2. Specifically, an indication may be added into theshared physical channel reconfiguration to indicate that the parameterscan be used at the time of performing random access through the E-DCH.Alternatively, the parameters are directly added into the process ofsetting up the common transmission channel.

The transmission bearer may include the optional parameters in thefollowing Table 3. These optional parameters may be added in the processof setting up the common transmission channel.

Step 102: The NodeB sets up the shared E-DCH transmission channelaccording to parameters in the received message, and exchangesinformation with the RNC through an established shared E-DCHtransmission bearer.

The NodeB may return a channel setup/reconfiguration response to theRNC, notifying the information about the established E-DCH transmissionchannel.

The NodeB sets up the corresponding shared E-DCH transmission channelaccording to the parameters sent by the RNC, and returns the informationabout the established channel to the RNC. Specifically, thetransmission-layer address and/or Binding ID is notified to the RNC.Alternatively, other relevant parameters of the E-DCH transmissionchannel may be notified to the RNC.

Moreover, after the shared E-DCH transmission channel is set up, if theNodeB needs to send UE information to the RNC, the UE ID needs to benotified to the RNC. Specifically, after receiving the information sentby the UE, the NodeB also needs to add the UE ID into the receivedinformation, with a view to modifying the data to new E-DCH data, orwith a view to modifying the E-DCH FP frame corresponding to the data tothe FP frame that carries the UE ID.

The modified FP frame is shown in the following Table 4.

In the foregoing solution which uses a shared E-DCH transmission channelto transmit data to the RNC, it is necessary to modify the processinglogic of the RNC so that the RNC can resolve the UE ID. Specifically,the MAC-es entity may be modified accordingly. Nevertheless, themodification is based on the precondition that the entity correspondingto the resolved UE ID in the RNC is a MAC-es entity. If the entitycorresponding to the UE ID is another entity, the entity needs to bemodified accordingly.

The foregoing embodiment reveals that: Random access can also beperformed between the RNC and the NodeB through an E-DCH, thus savingthe channel resources between the RNC and the NodeB.

As shown in FIG. 2, the system provided in an embodiment of the presentinvention includes an RNC 210 and a NodeB 220.

The RNC 210 needs to send a message for setting up/reconfiguring ashared E-DCH transmission channel to the NodeB 220.

The NodeB 220 needs to set up the shared E-DCH transmission channelaccording to parameters in the message, and exchange information withthe RNC through an established shared E-DCH transmission bearer.

The NodeB 220 is further configured to return the information about theestablished shared E-DCH transmission channel to the RNC 210.

Afterward, information may be transmitted between the NodeB 220 and theRNC 210 through the established shared E-DCH transmission bearer.

When the RNC 210 sends the setup/reconfiguration request, thesetup/reconfiguration request sent by the RNC 210 may carry a signaturelist used when the UE performs random access through the E-DCH, relevantphysical-layer channel parameters required when the UE performs randomaccess through the E-DCH, relevant physical-layer parameters requiredwhen the UE performs random access through the E-DCH, transmissionchannel parameters, or transmission bearer parameters, or anycombination thereof.

The RNC 210 sends a setup/reconfiguration request and returns theinformation about the established shared E-DCH transmission channel tothe NodeB 220, which is detailed above and not described further.

After the shared E-DCH transmission bearer channel is set up, if theNodeB 220 needs to send UE information to the RNC 210, the UE ID needsto be notified to the RNC 210. Specifically, after receiving theinformation sent by the UE, the NodeB 220 also needs to add the UE IDinto the received information, with a view to modifying the data to newE-DCH data, or with a view to modifying the E-DCH FP frame correspondingto the data to the FP frame that carries the UE ID.

Accordingly, the RNC 210 needs to resolve the received information toobtain the UE ID. For example, for the new E-DCH data and E-DCH FPframe, the MAC-es entity in the RNC 210 needs to be modified. Theimplementation is detailed above, and is not described further.

The foregoing method and system embodiments reveal that: In theapparatus embodiment herein, the NodeB 220 needs to set up a sharedE-DCH transmission channel according to the parameters in the messagesent by the RNC 220, and may be further configured to return a channelsetup/reconfiguration response to the RNC 210 to indicate theinformation about the established shared E-DCH transmission channel.

Accordingly, the RNC 210 needs to send a request for settingup/reconfiguring a shared E-DCH transmission channel to the NodeB 220.

After the shared E-DCH transmission channel is set up between the NodeB220 and the RNC 210, the NodeB 220 may be further configured to: add anUE ID into the information transmitted by the UE through the sharedE-DCH transmission channel and convert the data in the information intothe E-DCH data that carries the UE ID, or convert the information intoan FP frame that carries the UE ID, and send the modified information tothe RNC 210 through the shared E-DCH transmission bearer.

Specifically, the NodeB 220 for transmitting information may include atransceiver module 221 that is configured to receive a message forsetting up/reconfiguring a shared E-DCH transmission channel from theRNC 210; and a channel setup module 222 that is configured to set up theshared E-DCH transmission channel according to parameters in themessage, and to control the transceiver module 221 to exchangeinformation with the RNC 210 through an established shared E-DCHtransmission bearer.

The NodeB may further include an identification module 223 that isconfigured to add a UE ID into the information received from the UE, tomodify the data in the information to new E-DCH data or to modify theE-DCH FP frame corresponding to the data to the FP frame that carriesthe UE ID, and to control the transceiver module 221 to send themodified information to the RNC 210 through the shared E-DCHtransmission channel.

The foregoing embodiment reveals that random access may also beperformed between the RNC and the NodeB through an E-DCH, thus savingthe channel resources between the RNC and the NodeB.

The NodeB and RNC in the embodiments of the present invention may bereplaced with other devices of equivalent functions. These alternativesalso fall within the scope of protection of the present invention
